I promise, living in a clean dorm room is 100 times better than living in an unorganized and messy room.

You will also be a lot more productive in your room if it is clean. My roommates and I learned that when we did these 5 easy things every day, our dorm was a lot cleaner, and we were much happier.

Also, the best part about these hacks is that they will work no matter the size of your room! I lived in a quad my freshman year and literally had a small corner of the room to myself. These hacks still worked for me every day!

Want Your Dorm Room To Stay Clean? Do These 5 Easy Things Every Day

1. Make Your Bed Every Morning:

My biggest dorm room cleaning hack is to make your bed every morning. Your room will look significantly cleaner if all of the beds in your room are made.

The best part about making your bed is that it doesn’t take very long at all! If you looking for cute ways to decorate your dorm room bed check out this post on 22 absolutely stunning dorm room ideas.

2. Clean/Organize Your Desk for 5 Minutes Every Morning:

Try your hardest to spend 5 minutes every morning tidying up your desk. Think about how much cleaner your room is going to look if your bed is made and your desk is clean!

3: Sweep Your Floor Before You Go To Bed:

The floor in my dorm room always got dirty so quickly! Use a broom and dustpan to clean your floor before you go to bed.

(This broom and dustpan set has excellent reviews on Amazon and is definitely a college essential!)

4. Quickly Wipe Down Surfaces:

Try to wipe down surfaces in your room every day with disinfecting wipes. My roommates and I used Lysol wipes, and they worked well. Wipe down surfaces like your desk, microwaves, fridge handle, doorknob, etc. Wipe down surfaces that may be germy!!

5: Make Sure Your Belongings Are Organized!

Organization plays a big role in keeping a clean dorm room! If your belongings aren’t organized from the beginning it’s going to be significantly harder to keep your room clean.

(One of the best ways to organize your belongings is to use desk drawer organizers like these to keep your desk drawers organized! You can also extra drawers like this for under the bed storage!)

About Me

I'm glad you're here!

My name is Emily and I started Positivity is Pretty six years ago when I was in college. Back then, it was the place for all things college, roommates, and dorm decor. Since then, it has grown with me into a space to reflect on life’s messy, busy, and beautiful parts while practicing real, intentional positivity. While you’ll still find pieces of college life and other popular content here, my hope is to use this space to write about apartment life, relationships, making friends in your 20s, healthy habits, and finding ways to enjoy movement. My goal is that Positivity is Pretty helps you notice the good and find calm through life’s ups and downs.
